Would the same happen in Pittsburgh if Crosby broke up with his girlfriend?

Well, Crosby's popularity in Pittsburgh (frankly, Crosby's popularity anywhere) can't touch Jagr's popularity in his home country. He is, no doubt, the No. 1 Czech celebrity (and thus the "most eligible bachelor"). To his credit, he keeps his personal life away from the tabloid front pages, especially now that he's older (not drinking any alcohol, and being fairly religious definitely helps him).

The most popular Czech betting company Fortuna gave odds for next Jagr's girlfriend. At the last place, the aging 80's pop-star Iveta Bartosova (known these days mainly for her alcoholism and totally crazy behavior). Odds at 1:8000. Once Jagr saw this, he put this on his Facebook https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr (everything Google translated):

HELLO! I quite laughed. Sportsbook Fortuna announced 8000:1 course that will be my next partner Iveta Bartošová.To it's worth it! I'll try to arrange something with her, or with her current boyfriend magistrate, if they do not want it to jít.Pokud we agreed, I would give you time to know each bet a hundred crowns would have brought nearly MILLION! Most of the money we give to charity, but even so, I think that we were still the richest hockey family! Perhaps not pluck Fortuna, it will have to pay ) And if this fails, we still have in reserve Halina Pawlowská with odds of 1000:1. And it's still good! I will keep you informed as the situation develops

and later:

Ahoj.Jak promised, here is the latest information: from 16.15 to 19.15 is still trying to call Iveta-one takes it or obsazeno.Mezitím Fortuna collided rate from 150:1 to 8000:1 (kur's not ... good). My next plan: send a driver to Iveta home, perhaps caught her and arranges everything ). Hope it Iveta taking it easy, it's just to show Fortuna, it should not irritate cobra bare feet ) ).'s more: Iveta'm rooting for you.

and later:

Here we have further information in this plot, which we will call "dirty trick 2" (instead of Robert Redford starring Jaromir Jagr). A little while ago he returned from the driver Iveta and does not look good at all It's to be expected, probably not the deal But even disregarding the towel. My next plan: just pick the two new courses with potential female partners that have gone up in the meantime. And send your managerwith a huge sum of money to one of the branches Fortuny to bet these courses. Meanwhile I will not name who I chose ... My aim will be to contact them overnight and preferably straight and talked! I hope that these negotiations nepotáhnou as long as the one in the NHL, I had so much time Tomorrow I will inform you how everything dopadlo.Držte me luck, this is also your "smiley"!

Needless to say, within few hours Fortuna took down all Jagr-related odds...

EDIT: In order to get this posted, I had to delete something like 5-6 smileys Jagr placed all over his posts. Apparently, LGP mods hate happy people, and allows only 10 smileys in one post!!!!!

There is a merchandise shop, and there are signs with Jagr pointing the way, but when a fan tried to enter during the first intermission Sunday, the door was locked. It was closed – closed during a sold-out game."You don't make money," Jagr says.
